Overwater villas — FAQ

Are these the only overwater bungalows in Mauritius?
Yes — Constance Prince Maurice has the only overwater accommodation in Mauritius. Just 11 stilts suites above the lagoon (8 junior suites + 3 larger villas). Book well in advance.
Can you swim from the overwater bungalow?
No — the bungalows sit above a protected lagoon fish sanctuary. Swimming is not permitted in the sanctuary area, but the resort's beach and pools are steps away. The trade-off: extraordinary marine life visible from your glass floor.
What is the floating restaurant?
Le Barachois is five thatched pavilions floating on the lagoon — one of the most unique dining settings in the Indian Ocean. Fresh seafood and French cuisine above the water.
How big are the villas vs suites?
Junior Suites on Stilts: 70 m² with terrace. Villas on Stilts: 130 m² with separate living room, dining area, whirlpool bath and outdoor soak tub — nearly double the space.
